26 'dot' a few tenths of a mile. Easy flights into Boston on Saturday afternoon made the beginning of the trip fun.

5 mi. Today's track was more social than running, more loosening the tight right calf than speed training. I spent the workout way in the back of the group, talking and gauging how one good leg felt against the other. Our warmup was a mile, that was like running with a knot in my calf. … Continue reading Tuning the sore leg
